i agree that this is carefully cut up propaganda. but, adults aren't supposed to look to children for wisdom on complicated issues. adult issues. it's kind of a dumb premise to think that somebody is going to be convinced by an eight year old's reaction, when they've already rejected more informed arguments. it's insulting to the audience it's trying to reach, to the point that it's counter-productive. on one side, it's a circle jerk. and, on the other it hardens attitudes through a backlash at the attempted emotional manipulation.

i'd prefer to see videos of these sort focus on intellectual arguments. what we need is a public discussion. this isn't really able to spark one.
